"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

"I needed my plumbing wall insulated before temperatures dropped below freezing. Jake with Mallard General Contracting was very responsive on getting me a quote, communicating through the construction process, and performing the work within the construction schedule. Will without a doubt be using them on future projects. "

"Wow! I can't say enough positive things about the roofing services provided by Aloha Construction. Trevor Peterson handled nearly everything, making the entire process stress free (working around my schedule, dropping off roofing samples at my work, assessing my roof on short notice and handling EVERYTHING). From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations and delivered outstanding results. First and foremost, the customer service was impeccable. The entire team was friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my satisfaction. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and provide expert advice. The quality of their workmanship was truly top-notch. The roofing crew was punctual, skilled, and efficient. They completed the project in a timely manner without compromising on the attention to detail. The end result was a beautifully installed roof that not only enhances the curb appeal of my home but also provides excellent protection. What impressed me the most was their commitment to transparency and integrity. They provided a detailed and fair estimate, and there were no hidden costs or surprises along the way. They also kept me informed throughout the entire process, updating me on the progress and addressing any issues promptly. I highly recommend Aloha Construction to anyone in need of roofing services. Their exceptional customer service, superior workmanship, and overall professionalism make them stand out from the rest. I am extremely satisfied with their work and will definitely turn to them for any future roofing needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Frankfort-Heights, IL

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
